Abstract

Software metrics provide desirable means to measure design traits of an application under development as well as quality of end product. These are beneficial at various stages to enhance developer productivity and to make the software more manageable post-deployment. Investigating the strength of relationships among these metrics can offer more meaningful insights than analyzing them in isolation. This paper carries out a case study on an open source java based web server to identify correlations between several metrics from well known OO metrics suites. Quantitative distributions of classes over different metric values have also been observed. Results have been compared with similar past studies to verify the findings.
